Closer To God Lyrics by Anne Wilson

My Jesus (Anniversary Deluxe)

2022

[Verse 1]
I thought the more I cleaned myself up
The more worthy I'd be
I thought I had to draw near to Him
For Him to draw back to me
[Pre-Chorus]
But He's the breath in my lungs when I'm gasping for air
He's the friend listening, holding my desperate prayers
[Chorus]
In every hour that felt too dark
In every moment He felt far
Every time I felt like He forgot
Didn't know I was closer to God
In every valley, He walked with me
Hе sealed my future, sеt me free
In every place I felt lost
Didn't know I was closer to God
[Verse 2]
'Cause He leans into the brokenhearted
The whisper in the storm
And looking back to where I started
The path revealed Him more
[Pre-Chorus]
He's the tears in my eyes washing my soul
And I had to lose it to know He's in control
[Chorus]
In every hour that felt too dark
In every moment He felt far
Every time I felt like He forgot
Didn't know I was closer to God
In every valley, He walked with me
He sealed my future, set me free
In every place I felt lost
Didn't know I was closer to God
[Bridge]
I had to lose hope to finally stop runnin'
And I had to feel alone to learn that I wasn't
[Chorus]
In every hour that felt too dark
In every moment He felt far
Every time I felt like He forgot
Didn't know I was closer to God
In every valley, He walked with me
He sealed my future, set me free
In every place I felt lost
Didn't know I was closer to God
[Outro]
He's the friend listening, holding my desperate prayers
